Chapter 300 New Boss
Although he has never met Su Chen, Alan Ladd Jr. has already thought of various possibilities in his head. If the new boss is not easy to get along with, he may choose to change jobs.

But the premise is to meet the new boss first. He just heard from Davis that the new boss has some relationship with Wells Fargo, and is very young. Most importantly, he is still a Chinese who just came to the United States International students who have not studied abroad for a long time.

It can also buy 20th Century Fox from Rich and Davis at the same time.

This seems amazing.

Soon, Alan Ladd Jr. saw a yellow face coming out of the elevator.

He is indeed very young, and he does not have the insidious and cunning look of Fu Manchu in the film and television dramas.

Fu Manchu, in many works, can see this image: tall and thin, with raised eyebrows, two drooping beards, a face like a devil, wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms, proficient in various tortures, and likes to torture people.

This image comes from the novel "The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu" by the British novelist Sax Rumer in 1913.
Su Chen came to the front desk and asked, "I'm Su, where is Mr. Alan Ladd Jr. who is looking for me?"

A tall waitress came out from behind the counter: "Mr. Su, this way please."

She took Su Chen to Alan Ladd Jr.

Alan Ladd Jr. was already on his feet.

"Mr. Su, this is Alan Ladd Jr.." The waiter introduced each other: "Mr. Ryder, this is the Mr. Su you are looking for. Do you want me to prepare some drinks for you?"

Su Chen nodded: "Please bring us some drinks."

After the waiter walked away, Alan Ladd Jr. hurriedly reached out his hand: "Mr. Su, hello, I am Alan Ladd Jr., CEO of 20th Century Fox."

"Hello, please sit down." Su Chen shook hands with him.

After both parties sat down, Alan Ladd Jr. said:

"Mr. Su, I heard from Mr. Davis that I have changed my boss, so I took the liberty to pay a visit, lest the boss come to the company in the future. I don't know him. I hope it doesn't affect your rest."

For this CEO, Su Chen didn't have much malice. Alan Ladd Jr. turned the tide and brought 20th Century Fox back from the brink of bankruptcy, which shows that his ability is extraordinary.

"Dude, you do affect my rest."

Su Chen smiled, and then said: "But I think it's better for me to meet you, after all, you have already ranked very high among the capable people in Hollywood, if you suddenly change jobs, where can I find such a person?" Competent subordinates?"

Although the two sides met for the first time, the relationship developed a lot at once.

If Alan Ladd Jr. gives Su Chen a cold face, or Su Chen gives Alan Ladd Jr. a cold face, then there will definitely be trouble in future cooperation.

Even after Murdoch acquired 20th Century Fox, he didn't touch this one, which is enough to prove Alan Ladd Jr.'s ability.

The waiter brought two drinks, and Su Chen said, "Dude, I won't invite you to my room upstairs to discuss business, or if a reporter sees you coming to have a room with a man, maybe there will be rumors What a scandal."

"Boss, if you invite me to go up, I have to think about it before making a decision." Alan Ladd Jr. also smiled, and then asked: "I don't know when boss are you going to inspect the company? Do you need me?" Provide the most recent company financial statements?"

What he was more worried about was that Su Chen parachuted a person, who might be assisting in name, but might replace him at any time.

Su Chen thought for a while, and said: "Maybe in the near future, I will go to the company, and you just came to see me today. Next, I will adjust the company."

Hearing this, little Alan Ladd's heart skipped a beat.

"I want to form the Fox TV network, and you will be the president of the film department, but I will arrange someone else for the TV network." Su Chen said, "I hope you can get along well."

Although it is said that there are three fires for the new official to take office, Su Chen has no manpower now, so there is no need to light the fire, it will burn himself and become a joke.

Alan Ladd Jr. froze for a moment: "TV network?"

"Yeah, man, the TV networks are great for the development of movies, and we can move movies to TV in the future."

Su Chen went on to say: "As for the film department, what it was like in the past, and what it will be like in the future, but a movie like "Cleopatra" still needs to be considered."

"Another thing, I will acquire the computer animation department of Industrial Light and Magic, a subsidiary of Lucasfilm, in the near future to create an animation film department. Although Disney is now making animation films, it does not hinder our development."

"The animation department is called DreamWorks Animation, and I plan to recruit Chris Wedge to lead DreamWorks Animation. Do you know this person?"

Alan Ladd Jr. was listening carefully to Su Chen's words. He needed to analyze the boss's understanding of movies from the new boss' instructions.

"I've heard that he's in MAGI now and is the lead animation animator for the Disney movie "Tron." Little Alan Ladd replied.

Su Chen nodded and said: "In addition, I am also planning to set up an independent Fox Searchlight company, specializing in British films, comedies and horror films, as well as non-English films, and occasionally participates in film financing. Do you know Tom Ross? Man?"

"Yes." Alan Ladd Jr. answered honestly.

But he was suspicious in his heart. Does this new boss know everyone in Hollywood like the back of his hand?
"Okay, when I'm done with my work, you can make an appointment with him for me, and I'm going to ask him to lead this independent company." Su Chen said.

If Hugh Eaton was here, he could have asked Hugh Eaton for help, but now that Hugh Eaton had returned to Washington, this kind of thing would naturally be handed over to his subordinate Alan Ladd Jr.

As a big boss, it is impossible to do everything personally.

For Alan Ladd Jr., he felt a sense of relief, because he was still more worried about Su Chen's substantial adjustment of the company.

These three adjustments do not seem to have much impact on 20th Century Fox.

But that being said, when doing business with Americans, Su Chen doesn't feel at ease being a hands-off shopkeeper. Saying this is nothing more than to ease their hearts.

Alan Ladd Jr. nodded: "Okay boss, I will make an appointment with them at a suitable time. In addition, what I want to ask is the decision-making power of the film department..."

"I don't think about taking back the decision-making power for the time being." Su Chen said: "20th Century Fox is still at the helm, buddy, you are a very talented person, don't let me down, secondly..."
